Been there, done than. I also received some of the bilious green color
peelply with "permanent" fold lines. Cool doesn't work. An iron that is
almost hot enough to melt the fibers is will flatten almost all of the fold
lines enough to make the stuff useable, but I could never remove the folds
completely. Once it wets with epoxy it stays reasonably flat, but not
quite, so be careful where you use it. Otherwise, cut around the folds.
Best regards,

Unfortunatly, the fold lines do not want to lay flat when doing layups. To
date I'm piecing together pieces to avoid peel ply 'tunnels' in layups that
make a difference.
